A few days ago i was on a bear forum and someone had put a post which had all the names of the people who had been nominated for the British bear artist awards, i nearly fell off my chair as i read my name.I am so delighted as this is the first time i have ever entered any awards.

I would first like to say thankyou to my hubby and Julian for being such good sports about the last post i did lol Watch this space for more hehehe

This is Tilly who is just 2.5" standing and 2" sitting, she is made from lovely long pile vintage upholstery fabric's in light and dark browns.I have scissor and needle sculpted her tiny face and added some shading. I have made her some sweet dungarees to keep her warm. I really enjoyed making Tilly's dungarees and hope to make some more dressed bears soon.

I have just put Perla on my website, she is made of a light brown fur fabric with a lighter brown muzzle. She has a needle sculpted and scissor sculpted face as all my bears have, i have also wired her tiny arms.I am now working on something that will be very different for me, watch this space........

This is Joshua who is 3" and is made from lovely long pile fabric's in a dark brown and a light brown, he has light brown ultra suede foot pads with pulled toes. I have added some shading to his face and toes, i have also scissor and needle sculpted his tiny face. His eyes are black onyx beads and i have accented them with a white stitch.

He is fully cotter pin jointed and is filled with polyester and Steel shot for added weight, His arms are also wired and can be posed in different ways. I really had lots of fun making this little one and this was the first time i had wired my bears arms which i think i will be doing more of.

At last i have finished a new bear, i have been so busy with orders that i haven't had time to make a new bear for my website. We are also having a Conservatory but i will tell you all about that at a later date and put some pictures up.

This is Lulabelle and i am so happy with the way she looks, she is made from a lovely soft long pile fabric in a light brown. I have scissor sculpted her tiny face and added some light shading to her face and toes.She is fully cotter pin jointed and is filled with polyester and glass beads for added weight.http://www.freewebs.com/baggaleybears/availablebears.htm

Hopefully i will have another bear to add in a few days (fingers crossed).

I thought i would show you all a picture of a bigger bear i made. He is made from a lovely soft synthetic fur and is 13". He has a scissor-sculpted face like my miniature bears have and i added upper and lower eyelids to his eyes.

It is not very often that i make a bigger bear and i had so much fun making this fella but now my fingers are itching to make a miniature bear.

This is the little bear i am working on at the moment, as you can see i think it will probably be a little girl. I will be dressing her but yet to know what in. Most of my bears aren't dressed so i thought it was about time i did a few. I will post pictures of her when she is finished and i hope that you enjoy them.
